It can be, but I think it'd depend on what your agility is to begin with. Plus higher agility has other advantages, though. Dodging, catching, intercepting, etc. You can't even use the pass skill if your player is too clumsy to get near the ball.

It turns out, generally the opposite of my assumption is true - at short ranges the Pass skill serves you better than high AG. Except for AG 4 players, who when they have Pass throw better than an unskilled AG 5 at almost all ranges.

Having a player skill is always preferable, I think. What if you've already used your TRR that turn, or what if it turns out you'll need it later? What if you've run out entirely?

I think at low AG (2 or 3) then it's better to have an AG increase. At those low success percentages the chance of a rerolled dice failing are still so high. I would use an AG4 lineman as a passer over a rookie thrower on a human team, for example.

I agree the point about using a reroll earlier in the turn, but it seems to me that say half the times when this happens to me it's the result of me being greedy with blocks to farm SPP before a critical scoring action. With more self-discipline I think this would be less of an issue.

I think we've all been there! I get the impression a bit that a lot of the theoretical discussion about BB (which is great) normally assumes that things go according to plan, and often they don't. It's especially the case when talking about player builds. You often read, "You don't need skill X on player Y, it's bloat as you already have a specialist for that," but what if your specialist has been injured or is on an MNG or has been forced out of position? Granted, increasing your skillz as a coach can help with all those, but accidents still happen. This is still BB after all, and a natural 1 always fails!
